• Develop and maintain C++-based AFSIM plug‑ins, simulation entities, behaviors, and interfaces to external tools and data sources.
• Apply scripting (e.g., AFSIM’s script environment, Python/Lua where appropriate) to configure scenarios, behaviors, and batch runs for government analysis tasks.
• Conduct code reviews, static analysis, and vulnerability remediation to ensure compliance with secure coding standards and program security requirements.
• Support configuration management, CI/CD pipelines, and test automation for AFSIM capabilities delivered under government contracts.
• Collaborate with government engineers, analysts, and other contractors to capture requirements, refine use cases, and translate them into verified, validated simulation capabilities.
• Prepare and deliver technical documentation, test reports, user guides, and briefing materials in accordance with contract deliverable requirements (CDRLs).
• Provide technical input to proposals, estimates, and design reviews for current and future MS&A task orders.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or related technical discipline.
• 3–5+ years of professional software development experience, including C++ and object‑oriented design on Windows or Linux.

• Active Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) certification recognized under DoD 8140/8570.
• Experience applying secure coding practices, vulnerability mitigation, and software assurance concepts across the software development lifecycle.
• Familiarity with DoD cybersecurity and risk management processes (e.g., RMF, DoDD 8140/8570 role-based certification requirements).
• Active Secret

Desired Qualifications

• Top Secret/SCI clearance.
• Experience supporting Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), or other acquisition and S&T organizations in the Dayton/Beavercreek area.
